I know any comment section about Aziz is going to be a shit show, but can we all agree that him going with jokes about dating, birth control and celebrities being unfairly exiled from society was a weird choice?

My biggest beef with clothing manufacturers:

He regrets that Courtney Smith spoke and Brett McMurphy reported it.

Well, I have a message for everyone involved in this. I’m sorry we’re in this situation. And, um ... I’m just sorry we’re in this situation.

As a PR person and government in politics, I’ve gotten that version of the NYT response in many different forms. “You can’t expect us to include every single detail because some issues are so broad. We have space restrictions, you know.” Okay sure but all the flattering details you DO include somehow benefit white men…

It is very disappointing (and seems like he didn’t get the point) that Confessore’s response was basically “well, none of the other men mentioned her, so I didn’t think she was important.”

Really interesting story, and definitely shows the ways in which the “Great Man” narrative (i.e., the idea that social change occurs through one or two individuals alone) can so easily erase the impact of women.

Since it invariably is going to come up, I don’t understand how people can scream “this is a witchhunt” or “people are too sensitive” or “this is SJW nonsense”

Since it invariably is going to come up, I don’t understand how people can scream “this is a witchhunt” or “people are too sensitive” or “this is SJW nonsense” when time and again big gaming/tech companies have proven to be navel gazing, bro-clubs who alienate anyone who isn’t a straight white male.

It’s not…

1. WHOOO BOY! Gonna be a fun one today!

I think a lot of Catholic families there effectively forced some of their daughters to become nuns. The result: A lot of enraged women in convents, ready to lash out at anyone with even less power than their own.

I started running about six months ago. I’m about 50 pounds overweight, and I run like a turtle, but I do it. On vacation couple weeks ago, I was running in a park and felt a truck slowing down enough to say something. Prepared my “fuck off” speech, but instead of the usual, a young woman stuck her head out the window…

Fitness/health/wellness/self-care sold to women is STILL thinness sold to women. I don’t think that has ever changed aside from the term. Look at all the photos of women on Goopy’s website. Do you really think a size 18 will ever grace the pages of even the travel and style sections?

And his dismissive “sombody get a mop?” at the end. Perfect. 

The guy’s whiny list of “but it’s haaard!” excuses while clutching the enormous drink full of ice? YES.

They need to invent a word for when you have a laughing fit and a rage stroke simultaneously.

(Woman in Engineering) I agree with your professor! Here’s why:

In addition to shouldering more of this type of work, there are also studies showing that women also face backlash for *not* volunteering, or saying no when asked to do something; men are viewed as “busy” if they say no while women are viewed as selfish. https://hbr.org/2015/04/office-housework-gets-in-womens-way

Oh, the men is the comments are entertaining. They are so ANGRY at the suggestion that there is sexism in the workplace!

At my job you never volunteer for anything, otherwise, soon, you’ll be doing 3 jobs and be getting paid the same.
